After you file

Your 2023, 2022, or 2021 federal Form 1040-X amended return may be eligible for electronic filing if the original return was successfully e-filed using TurboTax. 

 

However, there is a chance your return cannot be electronically filed. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return.

 

If you are getting the message about the date, you will likely have to mail in your amended return.  Select "Change your filing method to File by Mail".

 

Print, sign and date the amended return.

 

If amending for a year prior to 2021, you need to print and mail your amended return. Follow these instructions to amend a prior-year return.

 

Note: For amendments prior to tax year 2021, you must mail a paper return. While the Internal Revenue Service and your state may accept e-filed amended returns, TurboTax may still have you to mail a paper return. 

 

Three weeks after mailing your amendment, you can start tracking it at Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.
